Jinxiyuan.
Brother Lang was lying on the soft couch, with his two younger brothers next to him on the left and right.
Lu Qing is practicing calligraphy, rice paper is spread on the desk, the brush is soaked with ink, and he strokes calmly. Although he has no character, at least the shape of the characters is getting more and more correct.
After writing for half an hour, her wrist was a little sore. Lu Qing raised her hand and asked, "What time is it?"
Ji Qin studied the ink and replied: "It's time for Xu."
Lu Qing was surprised: "Isn't the prince back yet?"
"No, Master, why don't you have a meal first?"
Brother Lan has used it, but Lu Qing has not eaten it yet. She originally wanted to wait for Yan Fuguang to have a meal together, but now she was also hungry.
"Let's prepare the meal. The prince may have something to worry about."
Yan Fuguang had something to do and couldn't leave. He deliberately went to Changding Hall.
Emperor Xihe was reviewing the memorial when he saw Yan Fuguang coming over. He smiled and ordered someone to serve him tea, and then asked about the three children in the Jin Palace.
"Brother Lan is three years old. Is it time for him to become enlightened? Have you found a good wife? If not, my father will help you."
"Where are Brother Yu and Brother Jiu? Are the two little guys getting married? If you have time, bring them to meet Father. Father misses them."
Yan Fuguang listened quietly, holding the tea cup in his hand and not drinking tea.
"Father, do you still remember what I looked like when I was a child?"
Emperor Xihe replied with a smile: "How could you forget? I have never seen a naughtier boy than you! If it hadn't been for your mother and concubine, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you!"
When Emperor Xihe mentioned Concubine Zhao, there was not much excitement in his eyes, as if everything that had happened existed only in Yan Fuguang's dream. After waking up from the dream, he was still the father who doted on him the most, and his mother and concubine were still alive.
"Yes, only my mother and concubine can cure me." Yan Fuguang sighed softly, "Father, do you still remember what my mother and concubine looks like?"
Emperor Xihe was stunned, and after a long silence he regained his voice: "There are still many paintings I made for your mother and concubine in Changding Hall. I always remember her appearance..."
Yan Fuguang found it ironic that Emperor Xihe had painted for so many women that he could hardly count them.
"My son had a dream, and he dreamed of his mother and concubine."
Emperor Xihe looked over, and Yan Fuguang continued: "The concubine said in her dream that she regretted it."
Tea spilled on his hand, Emperor Xihe wiped it in panic, and asked tentatively: "What do you regret?"
Yan Fuguang shook his head: "I don't know, I can't guess, so I came to ask my father, what do you think the mother-in-law said about regret?"
Emperor Xihe was speechless. He smiled reluctantly: "I, I can't guess it either."
Yan Fuguang put down the tea cup and stood up: "Father, I can't guess it. I can only ask carefully when my mother and concubine enters my dream next time."
When he came out of Changding Hall, he didn't feel relaxed in his heart.
**
Yan Fuguang has been very busy recently, so busy that he rarely even returns to the palace.
Lu Qing didn't deliberately spy on his whereabouts. She would listen if she wanted to tell him, but she wouldn't ask if he didn't.
In the days when Yan Fuguang did not appear, the mother and son in Jinxiyuan lived as usual.
When Lu Qing was pregnant, Yan Fuguang set the rule of asking for blessings every five days, which has continued to this day. After sleeping for several days, today is the day to go to Yihongyuan to ask for blessings.
On the way, Lu Qing was thinking about how to help Dr. Jiang test Ning Huayue. Fang Ya and Xu Rou, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in front of her. There was also a very familiar person standing beside them.
"I've met Concubine Wei, and I want to say hello to Concubine Wei." Fang Ya and Xu Rou said in unison.
Xue'er was wearing old clothes, her cheeks were thin, her whole body had lost its once bright vitality, and was as gray as a desolate yard that no one had set foot in for a long time.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You are already the concubine. Congratulations to Concubine Wei."
Lu Qing was very low-key. After becoming the concubine, she rarely came out. Except for seeing her profile from a distance in Yihong Courtyard when greeting her, Xueer had no chance to talk to her.
"It's early, Concubine Fang, Concubine Xu, and Concubine Bai." Lu Qing smiled lightly, "Thank you, Concubine Bai."
At that time, they were working together at Hemingyuan. Xueer was not polite to her and secretly worked with Taoyu and Jingfeng to frame her. Luqing has not forgotten this.
Even if Xue'er's low eyebrows and submissive attitude didn't offend her in any way, Lu Qing would not have much contact with her.
The damned people were all dead, but Lu Qing still couldn't let things go by the wayside.
Xueer clenched her handkerchief in embarrassment. Once upon a time, she and Lu Qing stood at the same starting line. But now, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
The more calm and confident Lu Qing is, the more inferior and dark Xueer becomes.
She became a failure, forced to look up to the people she once hated.
Lu Qing silently looked away, not wanting to go with them, so she said hello and walked forward quickly.
The three of them were left far behind. Xu Rou looked at Xue'er carelessly: "I heard that Sister Bai and Concubine Wei once lived in the same house? Don't you have a good relationship?"
Fang Ya poked her arm, but Xu Rou didn't know why: "Can't I just ask?"
The two of them had Ning Huayue at their back. Although they were still not favored, their life in the mansion was not that difficult.
Comparison is a very magical thing. It can always make one party more complacent and the other party feel inferior.
Fang Ya got closer to Xu Rou and Xue'er, and she also regained a little confidence from Xue'er. More than the best, more than the worst. Seeing that Xue'er was worse off than them, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction would slowly arise, saving them both from the dire situation.
Xueer just didn't know and said vaguely: "Concubine Wei usually doesn't talk much. We are not familiar with her."
Xu Rou curled her lips in disappointment: "If you had a good relationship with Concubine Wei, you might be able to get a share of the pie, but it's a pity that you missed the opportunity."
Xue'er twitched her lips, no woman would help another woman share her favor, unless she wanted to get something from her. Fang Ya and Xu Rou may not understand this yet, so they were so naive.
Lu Qing didn't know what they were talking about behind her back. She only cared about what Ning Huayue was thinking, and why she was thinking of assigning Dr. Jiang to the house steward.
At the entrance of Yihongyuan, Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi met from different directions.
"Concubine Wei." Chen Qingzi was the first to greet her.
Lu Qing smiled back: "Good morning, Concubine Chen."
She stood aside and let Chen Qingzi go in first.
Chen Qingzi nodded and thanked her, and led her maid Chunyu through the door first.
Lu Qing then called Ji Qin: "Let's go in too."
If not to say that Ning Huayue was bored, just such a trivial matter had reached Ning Huayue's ears before Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi entered the room.
She admired her makeup in the bronze mirror and was a little disappointed when she heard this: "Why can't the Chen family and the Wei family get into trouble?"
Ordinarily, two people of similar status are more likely to quarrel. If she were to stand in Chen Qingzi's perspective and watch a woman who was born as a maid gradually gain favor and climb to the same position as herself, she would definitely not be reconciled.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingzi was quite open-minded.
"That's all, I don't expect Mrs. Wei, a groveling person at heart, to be strong-willed." Ning Huayue stroked the hosta on her head, "She is polite to Ms. Chen, but unruly to me, so don't blame me, just deal with her one by one. Someone on her side!”
First of all, let’s start with the medical woman who has a close relationship with Kinshiin.
The majestic princess is worried about the marriage of a medical girl, so she should be grateful!
Who can blame Ning Hua Yue for this?
